Mega Play — Attraction in Mishawaka

It is an ok place for arcade games and indoor mini-golf. Just watch out for the unsafe "kids" area with broken equipment and exposed wires. (more on this below)

The arcade games are in good condition and feature a wide variety from the today back to the 1980's. They have all game genres and even a good selection of pinball machines. Games vary in price as you would expect based on the age and physical size of the machine.

The kids area is supposed to be for kids about ages 0-7. The big playground area with the ball pit uses old broken equipment from Chuck E Cheese or something. Kids can play in the restricted area of the playground, which has caused some kids to climb where they shouldn't and occasionally get hurt by flipping over metal bars. Then the ball pit has old plastic balls that are at least 5 or 10 years old maybe more and they look like they have never been cleaned. There are some small kids toys that you would find in someone's backyard. Half of them are broke in some way or are missing parts. To add to the fun there is a old musical piano bench for kids. The bench doesn't work, it has broken hinges, and exposed wires and circuits. Plus there are electrical outlets without covers on them right where little kids could try and touch or stick their fingers in.

Then there is the ceiling that has a lot of water damage, peeling paint, and possibly mold. The ceiling issue is really only in the kids area. You can look at the rest of Megaplay and see the repaired spots on the ceiling.

Staff is relatively unattempted if you plan a party there. Finally the floor is sticky in several areas high traffic areas.

By the way, it has looked like this for at least 1 year. Now that is a commitment to quality.

It seems like the owner either doesn't care about the place or doesn't know how to run a business or make it profitable. They could at least take time and a little bit of money to buy zip ties to fix the playground netting in the kids area. It is a shame because it could be a great place for families and kids if it was actually cared for and kept in good condition. If someone would invest money or if he could get some loans it would be great to see what their place...

We Only came for the kid play area, which was only $4 per kid and thru could play all day, if we let them. My kids are 4 and 7. My 7 year old was just under the height limit and still had a blast. Older kids would likely get bored after about 10 minutes. There are plenty of different things for the kids to play with including ride-ons, a teeter totter, a couple of toddler climbing things with small slides and many others. The 2 main attractions are the bounce house and the larger climbing area, much like a McDonald's play place just with a ball pit and climbing pyramid. Everything was in pretty good condition considering it's a kids play area. The bathrooms were clean but need some sprucing up- the paint on the floor is peeling, one of the 2 stall doors didn't lock and there was just a tiny bit of ripped wallpaper in one area. It almost seems like this place is under new management who are trying to clean up a place that was previously let go. The reason I say this is because while we were there the knob on the sink was replaced and a spill was quickly cleaned up by a very polite young man. My husband played some of the video games and his take was that the games were fun and very few, if any, games were out of service. We would definitely go back and play more when we...

My wife and I took our kids here recently as something fun to do on a Saturday. We have lived down the road from it for years, but never tried it. Now that we have, I wish we had done it sooner.

The strip mall that it is located in is fairly old so it gives the place a little outdated feel when it comes to the decor. When you add the fact that they specialize in vintage video and pinball games and it's kind of a blast to the past.

They use cards rather than tokens which takes some getting used to, but the rates are good. They also offer an hourly option Mon-thur. In addition they have mini golf, a gladiator arena, and an area for small kids featuring a ball pit, a bounce house, and other toys. It was only $4 per child to play as long as we wanted. They also have ticket based arcade games that you can redeem for prizes.

The staff was very helpful for us first timers and helped us get going. My only two complaints were that the cards were a little clumsy when it came to making sure that your tickets made it in there, and that they didn't do a good enough job regulating the kids area to keep big kids out of there. They eventually did, but it was way out of hand by the time they did something. Overall though it was a fun and inexpensive couple of hours. We will...
